Them come straight from the heart. The Russian Internet journey to death starts to maintain our d w. Question. I 40 years ago he scored the goal of the season premier rides i said i nearly 2020 he was inducted to the english football hall of fame. I. Think the c. B. D. If its 6 oclock that means his curry coffee in. The form of football not just in fashion you know has been found dead in the karachi east london its understood the name of the century 7 died from strangulation. 9 years after fashion who had come out of the closet in 1900 aged 29 he was the 1st male professional footballer to openly say i and. I 1990 the year when his biggest competitor missed out on the World Cup Final after losing to west germany. The year emma watson was born tams 21. 00 music in the charts sounded like this. Just. Stand like this. But back to fashion and being homosexual in football for 30 years now precious few professional male footballers have come out ok there are only a handful and most of them not household names they include former u. S. International Robbie Rogers and australian tennis brendan myself especially say sure but after finishing his career and what about the other countless profession. Around the world since a no show alleged in womens football homosexuality is not a big mega rapinoe from the u. S. From brazil sam kerr from australia all s. B. S. And theyre among the best of the best and there for so many top flight football not gay at all. Most of our societys homosexuality has become much more normal than it used to be yes ok i know there are still countries where you just criminalize 71 in fact but here in berlin for instance gay couples are a perfectly normal side on the street and in other places around the world to heterosexuals frequenting gay bars is not an issue on t. V. There are all gay dating shows such as finding prince charming or sex or movie industry same sex relations are more than socially acceptable and its a similar story with the music biz. I. Was. Who cares who jon is into or who ricky martin lives. With mans football at least seems to exist in some parallel universe. To an ideal that has nothing to do with the real world and homosexuality it seems is its a last well cup winner of all of you who says sorry but it is impossible to display homosexuality in football then again you who has posed for a game magazine in the past so hes probably not the greatest homophobe ever. Love him. Is football really a game free zone where. Coming out in other sports are becoming increasingly normal take boxer Ricardo Orlando crew and i felt player michael sam rugbys Gareth Thomas and be a stars Jason Collins and their record of swimming legend 4 or figure skater brian bolton so no one in football do you buy that. Lets take it back to justin fashion to a pioneer the 1st professional footballer to come out as page 17 he played in the english 1st division which is todays premier League Foreign origin by the early eightys he was a top young talent i just think its. Comparable to what is that Atletico Madrid today or frankly the young at barcelona every football fan knew fashion was a name in 1901 he signed for Nottingham Forest forest for among europes elite after being crowned european champions twice in a row its my the joy for the structure youre at and for the joy but also your forest on the figure of european football stages. In the summer of 1981 justin fashion who was the worlds 3rd most expensive transfer he was the 1st black player to command a 1000000 pound transfer fee this sense similar shock waves throughout the football world has kept has moved to chelsea in 201818 1000000 euros for a goalie or to 87000000 paid by man united for Harry Maguire i defender back to 981 fashion with his Exceptional Talent he could have conquered the world but fate took a different turn his coach brian clough from certain overconfident and selfindulgent and decided to have fashion tales and sources reported back something outrageous at least for the expensive new signing has been cited in gay bars what if the coach do he gathered together the entire team and called fashion to a bloody poof in front of everyone pretty old school stuff youre seeing from todays. Specter but nothing unusual for the times in britain and elsewhere even later on cough only partly regret it was in his 1995 autobiography it wasnt wrong to point out his Sexual Orientation but i should have done it privately question his performances on the pitch suffered hed already been the target of racist chant now there were also homophobic slurs. And here we have one of the reasons that i decided to this day about why footballers dont come out of the fear of getting abuse in stadiums but hang on what should black players say that they stop there to reardons or is being harassed because of their homosexuality different to abuse because of your skin color. Geos says its impossible to display being gay puts forward the following argument there is a lot of testosterone in the locker room to get collective showers its tricky tricky but excuse me only view impossible to change sadistic say between 3 and 10 percent of the worlds population is homosexuals or guys now translate this to football still thinks no ones gay come on. Back to fashion the under 21 international dealt with this dilemma through denial he told his coach he would get married to a woman soon he became a born again christian but his life as a gay man continued which is logical is a way what if you were told to suppress one of your most private sphere is your Sexual Orientation. In the football world today it still seems to be suppressed many internalized the testosterone fueled world talks about take. A female reporter asked him to comment on an intimate looking photo of him and his answer have a look at the loss of a dedicated money coach come to my house and ill show you how gay i am and bring your sister too. Then there are homophobic fans of course true you will also see gay friendly banter is in many stands today some teams even support the l. G. Flag on their shirts but everyone who has been to a stadium in recent years knows the chance fashion no ones had to listen to have not fully disappeared like in the early. Speaking of the early eighties 1982 to be precise the dispute with fashion was coach had reached a new level he was banned from Training Police eventually had to escort passion to off the Training Ground his time at Nottingham Forest was over the u. K. Decriminalised homosexual acts between man and private in 1987 but homophobia remains widespread and not just in the u. K. In fact the World Health Organization only stopped calling it a mental disorder is that early ninetys later admitted that he had failed to support his place or i had a responsibility towards him because he was under my jurisdiction as the manager of the club and i gave them nothing just in fashion his career went further downhill after a long spell itself hampton he played at notts county his market value had gone down by more than 80 percent well for want of proof from their team and the eightys the. Lost his magic on the pitch also at further clubs in brighton in the us and in canada living is gay lifestyle and still praying to the lord asking for forgiveness cash in his tail has all the ingredients for a Netflix Documentary and Little Wonder there is one. Todays football world offers a stark contrast especially with the flawless live shot on instagram but if you take a closer look you see that a lot of the imagery is like that traditionally associated with gay mens magazines psychologists also point to another aspect of coming out as a homosexual footballer and that doesnt have to do with instagram footballers create their own brands they often center on masculinity and being a real man so aftershave dont sell if you come out the same guys who pretend to have been struck by authority knaidel when theyre tackled fairly the same guys who roll over and gently pushed they are supposedly the real man so why dont more of the corners to come out of the closet there are repeated rumors and speculation but not much more 30 years after a fashion some say there are even agencies paid to find the wives of convenience players but almost everything around todays footballers and homosexuality remains a mystery what i do know for sure though if a player were to come out and lets assume it would be a top level guy known internationally i swear that in todays world it would only be a one day scam and the next weekend you would see thank you banner is in the stands and other people would be relieved fashion who has is coming out moment in 1900. 80000 pounds to a tabloid paper this brother john also a professional footballer had offered him the same amount not to go public just and then started to make up stories attracted by the easy money that comes with them he loved the attention he got fashion to become a regular guest on talk shows after years of travelling the world as a journeyman he ended up as a youth coach in the us state of maryland in 1990 s. After being accused of sexually assaulting a 17 year old boy fashion who fled back to him with their fresh new heard reports that an international warrant has been issued for his arrest on may 3rd british t. V. Announced just in session who has been found dead in that van arjan the sly. In many places around the world his tragic story seems like from another time but why did most of the world has come along the way been overcoming its homophobia the football world is lagging behind and apparently will continue to do so for the time being what do you think why does it still refuse to face real.
